Ubuntu should be fine. Most of our builds, and many of the developers testing environments happen to be RHEL or derivatives like CentOS, but I also know people who develop on Mac, or FreeBSD, and I occasionally use Fedora.
To be clear, my statement above was my personal preference, and not a community preference. Like Josh said, we try to avoid OS-specific stuff which would affect portability. The reason for my personal preference of CentOS is that it's RPM-based (I'm most comfortable working with RPMs), and it's very stable, and has good community and enterprise support options, which might be suitable for large-scale deployments of Accumulo. -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 1:57 PM, Josef Roehrl - PHEMI <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Christopher, > > We happen to be running on Ubuntu. > > Any insights into why CentOS or RHEL is preferred that you can share? > > Thanks > > > On 15-07-06 07:34 AM, Christopher wrote: > > I personally consider running on CentOS to be essential, and would > recommend the latest CentOS (or RHEL). > > -- > Christopher L Tubbs II > http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii > > > On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 8:55 AM, mohit.kaushik <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi All, > > I searched around the web but I am unable to find any recommendations on OS. > Which Operating System is recommended for latest Accumulo installation.
